Julius Peppers is 38 years old. Yet he ranks second on the Carolina Panthers in sacks.
That would be remarkable for any other 38-year-old, but we judge Peppers by a different standard. He has taught us to do that over the years. Peppers was doing Zion Williamson sorts of things before Zion Williamson was even born. His athletic skills have long been described as freakish, which is part of what has allowed Peppers to play in both a Super Bowl and a Final Four.
This year, though, Peppers and Father Time have sometimes engaged in a stalemate at the line of scrimmage.
